Job dice rolls are buggy

Post by Renomaki » 01 Jan 2017, 21:55

Bug Description: Lets say you want to play as a Standard for a few rounds. You make sure to set it to high, click done, save, and then you ready up. But then, you start the round and you end up getting a job other than Standard... Multiple times.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to your job menu at round start and ensure that Standard is set to HIGH
2. Ensure other job types are set to MID and LOW
3. Ready up and see what job you roll as.

As of this post, I rolled for Standard for 3 rounds.. I ended up getting cargo tech, MP, and squad engineer instead. Standard is normally the easiest job to get on high, due to it's nearly limitless job cap, but for some reason it has been a tad out of whack as of late. I doubt I'm the only one this happened to as well, since I recall other staff mentioning issues also.
Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

I think job assignment works by going through the jobs from most important to be fulfilled to least important. So first the game want to choose a commander. It looks for all candidates (LOW, MID or HIGH) and choose one. Your preference only matters when there are multiple candidates. Standard is the less important job, so you get it only if the important jobs are filled.

EDIT: Sorry, I missed it changed. I guess you mean High gave you standard before.

Standards are fixed now. Resolved.
